people, is proud of the French army, for
which he has already done SO much, and his

HOW aT WORKS.

The way in which the generosity of this
country to its defenders is abused is well IL
lustrated by two cases which the President
has brought to light by his veto of bills
providing for pensions. Cudbert Stone was
voted a pension by Congress because he had
incurred disability during his s'long and
faithful service" in the army. The records
of the War department show that Stone en-
listed October 25, 1861, and was reported as
deserted from December 81, 1861, to Novem-
Der, 1864. He was mustered out with his
company January 81, 1866, with no evidence
of disability, and he filed no claim for pen
sion until 1881, when he alleged that he con-
tracted disability in the winter of 1868,
although he subsequently changed this date
and alleged that the disease was contracted
"while he was being carried from place to
place as prisoner, he having been tried by
a court-martial in May, 1862, for desertion
and sentenced to Imprisonment until the ex-
piration of his term of enlistment The
President plainly and pertinent1y says of this
case: Thus is exhibited the '1ong and faith
full services and high character of the
claimant mentioned by the committee as
0nGlL11uG ulu1 TO COQSIO6TastOu. WlSHuOIU
my assent from the bill because, if the facts
before me are true, the allowance of this
claim would be travesty our whole
scheme of pensions and an insult to every
decent veteran soldier.
The other case is that of Abraham T.
Grigg, who was also given a pension by an
intelligent Congress. This mans certificate
of discharge from long and faithful service"
in the army reads as follows: This man has
been in this hospital for the past eight
months. We do not believe him sick or that
he has been sick, but completely worthless.
He is obese and malingerer to such an ex-
tent that he is almost an imbeclle-worth-
lsssness, obesity and imbecility and laziness.
He is totally unfit for the invalid corps or for
any other military duty.
The President has done his duty in keep
ing the hands of these two impostors out
of the public treasury. But there is good
reason to believe that many more like them
are now on the pension rolls. And if the
dependent pension bill becomes law such
frauds will have great opportunity, which
they will doubtless improve.

The Modern Methods.


We do not sigh for return of the 'tgood
old days" when boys went barefooted until
they were twenty one, and walked ten miles
to and from school. There are now new and
improved methods of "'toughening'' bsys.
They are about as tough generally speaking
they can very well be. But we do some
times long for a little of the old-fashioned
discipline and 'ftrouncing" methods that
made boys subservient to the will of their
parents in some slight degrees. Imagine a

Platina and gold is the fsvorite combina-
ton in fine plated Hnk-buttons.
For misses, coil earrings CHASE d aud Of
ten SCI with turquoise are neat ,,and fashion,

Small shot now ornament the overlapping
ends of slender wire and twist shank rings.
One of the most popular onyx pins is with
out doubt the conventional flower with pearl
centre.
A plain band ring, having one or three
flush star-set diamonds, is considered stylish
for gentlemen.
Among fashionable people there is said to
be noticeable demand for fine large tur-
quoise in perfectly plain settings.
Knots of platinum and gold, heavily chased
or in contrasted flush, are sne of the leading
styles in sleeve buttons.
The chased horse shoe or wreath, combined
with enamel flowers, is appropriately used in
earrings as well as pins.
The chased knot earring has been well
received this season, the knots resembling
those which are most approved in pins.
The crescent in vernicelG finish, set with
diamonds and having small diamond star on
one of its horns, is seen both in pins and ear
rings.
A line of fancy stone earrings, including
orals, sapphires and similar stones, set very
plainly, is being made this season.
The double strand coil bracelet is now ap-
pearing in beautiful styles, the varied finish of
the two strands afording wide range of
contrasts.
Ladies' vest chains are now made in the
French style, polished gold shot alternating
with French links of platinum. small
platinum lockee in the same style is at

Imitation of that popular flower, is the rich

buttons.
A salable ring at present has a fiat
shank, the upper part of which is split, and
two parallel rows of fancy stones three in
row, are set either diagonally or..in line with
the shank.
The newest Queen chain is composed of
red and green gold and platinum in beauti-
full contrast, and has a lall pendant, the
surface of which consists of deeply chased
blocks of the same metals, set with different
colored stones.
The new domestic golden beryl has a very
pleasing effect when mounted in the plain
twist-shank ring in combination with small
diamonds, or in scarf-pins in the popular NAL
tese cross form. 1t almost rivals the diamond
in brilliancy.
The odd reptile and insect forms, SO
popular this season, occasionally take de

Verify, such brutal class law as was shown in
this modern trial of heretics here in Chicago
cannot again be found in the history of the
